## What is iGuzheng⁺?

iGuzheng's innovative "Follow Play" feature allows even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces!

Guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither that dates back to 500 B.C. It is rich in playing techniques. The performer plucks the strings with his right-hand fingernails, while his left-hand fingers apply pressure to the strings to execute vibratos, slides, and other embellishments , as well as occasional plucking techniques.

iGuzheng supports many playing techniques, like an acoustic Guzheng:

· Playing techniques for Right Hand:
   Pluck, Glissando, Tremolo (Shake/摇指), Automatic Tremolo, Overtone
· Playing techniques for Left Hand:
   Pitch Slide, Small Vibrato, Big Vibrato, Tap Pitch (Dian Yin – 点音)

Main Features:

√ Follow Play: iGuzheng's original "Follow Play" feature combines Guzheng playing symbols with string positions to provide real-time playing prompts, allowing even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces!

** Supports setting to follow only the right-hand part or both hands!

** When following only the right-hand part, iGuzheng will automatically play the left-hand part for you!

** Can be set to automatically play left-hand pressing actions: pressed notes, glissando, vibrato, etc.

[Appendix] Meanings of various lines in Follow Play:

Vertical line – Represents a "chord line," commonly used for major plucks, minor plucks, and chords.

Wavy line – Represents a "glissando line," commonly used for ornamental notes, glissando, double thumb, heavy thumb, etc.

Fine dashed line – Represents a "note group." All notes connected by fine dashed lines form a note group, which may consist of common fingering combinations (alternating thumb and middle finger, four-note patterns, etc.), grace notes, triplets, arpeggiated chords, rhythmic patterns, etc.

Horizontal thick dashed line – Represents a "tremolo line," indicating the start and end times of the tremolo.

### 2/5 — 为什么录制没有跟弹 为什么歌曲这么少

*2025-05-08*

为什么

### 5/5 — Inquiries about downloading music files

*2025-04-13*

Hello, I am a very good user of your app. I would like to have the music currently in this app as a file or video.,I mean, the music files in the app, not the music files I played myself. I want to sleep while listening to it every time I sleep. I would be really happy if I could get the files. I like your app so much and I like it., The music is so beautiful. I hope I get a reply from you. Have a nice day. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for loving this app. The music files in it cannot be played by other players. But there is a simple way to obtain the music within the app. You can use the screen recording tool that comes with the system to save the music played in the app as a video. Then, you can use an MP3 extraction tool to extract the music from the video.

### 5/5 — Best guzheng app out there

*2025-02-01*

Really worth every penny. I first downloaded to learn guzheng in conjunction with some lessons and really enjoying the drama ost and recent popular songs than the more traditional ones my teacher assigns. It would be awesome if we can also print out the music sheet for it instead of slowly writing everything down by hand. Thank you developer for the frequent updates and not forgetting about this app!

### 5/5 — This is almost perfect

*2024-07-30*

I absolutely love this app. I’m glad it gets regular updates from the developers with new music. As a new Zheng player, I find it useful. There are really only 2 things that would make this app next level, and one of them is very easy to implement: (1) the ability to export tabs of the songs available in the app. This would be AMAZING, as I really like the renditions of the songs in the app but don’t want to spend time transcribing by hand all the notes played. Since the songs are input into the app (presumably) using tabs, it shouldn’t be too difficult to allow people to export them. The second thing, which might be a bit more difficult to do, is maybe to add in a suggestion system? So if someone is interested in a particular song, maybe if enough people request or something the developers can add it into the app? 

Overall, super happy with this app, I just wish I could export the tabs haha.

### 5/5 — Best Guzheng App

*2024-05-25*

There are so many amazing songs to play and the app is so well made. There are so many customization options, ways to listen to the music without being in the app, speeds, etc it’s literally endless i HIGHLY recommend

### 3/5 — Great sound but please make it IAA or AUv3 compatible please!

*2024-05-01*

Awesome sounding instrument but cannot be used with any daw or recording software :( I saw a review from 10yrs where it was compatible with Audiobus 2 so assumed it would work with Audiobus 3, but sadly that is not the case. Please, please, please could you update it so that it is Audiobus 3 and AUv3 compatible? This would make the app an actual usable instrument and not just a toy. It is meant to be GuZheng Pro after all!

### 5/5 — 建议能开发一写手势的练习

*2024-02-09*

软件很好，对于初学者来说很喜欢 但就是对于手势的练习很缺乏，建议可以开发一些关于练习手势的板块，可以更好的掌握曲目的弹法，谢谢

### 5/5 — 多出点周董的歌，谢谢作者大大

*2024-02-02*

对于我这种已经好几年没摸古筝的人来说真的太棒了，没事就能打开弹一下，但是！能不能多出一点周杰伦的歌呀，《兰亭序》太好听了，多出点周董的歌，谢谢作者谢谢作者大大，能上线《诀别书》吗，跪求

### 5/5 — Lovely sounds

*2024-01-16*
